In 2024, students at New Explorations into Science, Technology and Math High School who sat the SAT averaged 1338 out of 1600 — 669 on Math and 669 on Reading and Writing. That is 359 points above the 979 averaged across the 461 New York City high schools that reported a score that year. Within Manhattan, where the average is 1034, it is 304 points higher. Citywide it ranks 9 of 548 — one of the ten highest averages in the system. In Manhattan it is 3 of 140.
Across 8 measured years, the school's average went from 1334 in 2017 to 1338 in 2024, up 4 points. 2024 is the high point of the whole record; the low was 1241 in 2020. Citywide the average moved down 37 points over the same span, so relative to the rest of New York this school is ahead by 41 points.
The sharpest single move came between 2023 and 2024, when the average rose 62 points in one year. Its place in the citywide order has hardly changed: 11 of 453 in 2017, 9 of 461 in 2024.
The 2024 figure is the average of 114 students at this school who actually sat the exam — not of the whole graduating class. Of those test takers, 85% on Math and 93% on Reading and Writing cleared the College Board's college-readiness benchmark.
The highest average in Manhattan that year belonged to Stuyvesant High School, at 1497, 159 points ahead of New Explorations into Science, Technology and Math High School. A gap of that size is real, and it is the kind of distance targeted preparation is normally asked to close.

“Tested” is the number of students the DOE counted in that year’s average, not the size of the class. “College ready” is the share of those students who met the College Board benchmark on that section. A dash means the DOE published no figure for that year; nothing here is estimated.
